A poem entitled ‘Beauty’ written by Stuart Sutcliffe, inside a1956 copy of The Prescotian school magazine. Sutcliffe would have been 16 when this was published.‘It comes and fades, butNo excuse is profferedFor this myth which capturesMankind under some ghoulishSpell. Who knows what fruitless ventures,Lost in this world’s entirety, are inspired,Allured by some clownishAmazon. Mentioned, whispered, fromSome shadowed cornerOf this brazen earth.Cut off, save for this wonderful thingOf Gods ! Beauty ! And ‘twill clingForever to this dungeon cell.Call’t what you will, I call it Hell.’ -- source link
